Reviews

These recent publications by Henle are welcome new resource for performers. Henle's finely produced editions of the well known 'Emperor' Concerto and the 'Triple Concerto' are exemplary. Rehearsal figures, orchestrational cues and markings, and clear indications of tutti and solos combine with lucid presentation of the musical text. The Triple Concerto also includes separate parts for each soloist while the orchestral piano reduction is clearly set out alongside the piano trio. ... the scholarly introductions offer illuminating commentary about the historical background to each work. ... Some of the score annotations are directly connected with Beethoven's teaching, with comments from leading theorists and a transcription of the orchestral part for figured bass. ...[Arietta]
